They are planted in pans or flats, in soil composed of equal parts saud and well rotted leaf-mold. Ordinarily they are set hori- zontally. If planted vertically, in cuttings from the true root the end which was nearest the crown should be uppermost; but if made from the rootstock, that end should be uppermost which grew fartlnst from tlie crown. In either case they should lir iomhiI, as seeds ;ii' MTcd, and the whole made tirm. Root- cuttings of hardy plants should be kept cool .at first and brought into 628.

Buds develop on these edges and are removed when of proper size and treated as cuttings of growing wood, or allowed to remain until rooted. In dracsena (see Fig. 546, page 370)âand this applies to stem- as well as root-cuttings âtlie buds are not taken off until rooted ; the original cuttiTi ronmins in the sand and sometimes produces a serond or t'\M'ii a third crop. The tuberous rootstock of Anim iikkhIh- tum, and plants of like nature, can be cut into pieces, remembering that the bud-producing portion of ;u-uiu is the top, and each part will grow succe-ssfully. lOxfTcise care in watering and maintain a good tem
